rain, rain, rain

We've had several days of rain over the past month in and half. I think at one point we had 11 days straight in a 2 week time period, then a 3 day break with another 5 day stretch of rain. We are waterlogged to say the least. Our bonus room flooded and we had to pull the carpet out. We have to cut out and replace some of the sheet rock that connect the crawl space to the bonus room because of mold and mildew. Yuck. Not quite what we were wanting. However, S and I are going to take this opportunity to turn that room downstairs into a new space. We're planning on staining the concrete versus throwing down new carpet. We're going to take out the drop ceiling and may do some combination of exposed and sheet rock ceiling. S is going to get his opportunity to build in some shelves (if he still wants to do that). I'm thinking about painting it some funky fresh color. Although it's the PITS right now, I can't wait to see the finished product. YAY!

Our backyard is a bog as well. We're going to have to do something about the drainage problem in the spring. Until then, W is having a grand time playing in the "wadder". I've included photos of his most recent play date with the mud pit.
